Before answering the question of how to quickly remove a bruise, it is important to understand its nature. Maxim Sautin, an orthopedic traumatologist who specializes in reconstructive microsurgery at the European Sports Traumatology and Orthopedics Clinic ECSTO, mentioned this in an article published by socialbites.ca.
“If a person has struck a piece of furniture, for example, and has a bruise, it is possible to use external agents, such as Heparin Ointment, Lyoton, that accelerate the resorption of the hematoma and allow it to disappear quickly. If there is an understanding that this is a manifestation of a deeper injury, then I recommend contacting a traumatologist, undergoing the necessary examination, so as not to aggravate it. You will need to limit your sports activity while you recover. In addition, in extremity hematomas, compression stockings or a simple elastic bandage are used to create a light compression in the hematoma area.
An orthopedic traumatologist emphasized that hematomas are not always the result of injury with a blunt object and are located under the skin, where the vessels are damaged. According to the doctor, a bruise can be a manifestation of deep injuries in the tissues.
“For example, when a muscle is torn, a subcutaneous hematoma, which we call a bruise, may appear within a few days. “This is a result of the fact that blood from the torn muscle gradually rises to the surface and penetrates the tissues we can already see,” he said.
In case of extensive bruising, the doctor recommended contacting a traumatologist, who in some cases may refer to a surgeon.
